Both have lost star players, Inter and Milan have striking differences

DBasia.news – AC Milan and Inter Milan has suffered a similar fate in the transfer market this summer. The one-city club both lost two important players. However, there are stark differences that unfold.

Two players who left AC Milan were Gianluigi Donnarumma and Hakan Calhanoglu. Both are the backbone of the Rossoneri in recent seasons.

For Milan, Donnarumma is an impenetrable wall under the crossbar. In fact, Donnarumma was labeled as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe.

Meanwhile, Calhanoglu is the mastermind behind Il Diavolo Rosso’s attack. Last season, the Turkish national team player scored nine goals and 12 assists in various competitions.

Unfortunately, the two players had to leave in the 2021 summer transfer market. Unfortunately, Milan did not receive a penny. Yes, both left on a free transfer.

If Donnarumma chose Paris Saint-Germain as his next port, Calhanoglu took a more challenging path. The midfielder defected to Inter Milan.

On the other hand, Inter also lost two star players. Achraf Hakimi’s departure will soon be followed by Romelu Lukaku.

However, unlike their brother, Inter received quite a lot of funds from the sale of the two players. When selling Hakimi to PSG, Inter earned 70 million euros including bonuses.

Meanwhile, in the deal with Chelsea regarding Lukaku, Inter will receive 115 million euros. That way, the sale of the two players has made the Nerazzurri earn 185 million euros, or around Rp. 3.1 trillion.

The fresh funds were very useful for Inter who were experiencing financial problems. La Beneamata also targeted a number of players to replace Lukaku and Hakimi. The three names are Duvan Zapata, Edin Dzeko, and Denzel Dumfries.

On the other hand, Milan have worked in advance to find a replacement. So far, the Rossoneri have spent more than 60 million euros to obtain new ammunition.
